Build & Run: plist is not getting updated

Question

I have a plist in my resource bundle which I copy by folder reference. For some reason, my edited & saved (in Xcode) plist is not getting copied/updated until I delete the app. Otherwise the old plist (before editing) is copied over, even though I delete the app. Is data being left over?

The plist is edited quite often, so debugging is very time-consuming this way. How can I make sure the plist is copied properly?

Answer 1

Are you copying the plist file in Documents folder? if you are copying that then you must delete the app from iPhone simulator every time you launch the app.

You can also do one thing.. you can copy the file in documents folder every time you launch the app. Because the document folder's content can only be delete by deleting the app from simulator/device.

Then there is no need to restart the simulator/device and xcode.
